Which option is not part of the A.I.M framework?

The idea behind this framework is to assess whether someone could carry out a harmful act by looking at three specific factors: ability, intent, and means. Ability means having the skills, training, or resources needed to act. Intent is the decision or motivation to do it. Means is having access to the tool or instrument that would be used. Planning isn’t defined as one of the three elements; it’s more about how someone might organize an act, but it isn’t a separate factor in AIM. Therefore, planning isn’t part of the AIM framework, while ability and means do, and intent (often written as “intent” rather than “intend”) fits as the third component.
